Steakhouse 85
Steakhouse 85 serves the classics we all know and love, along with contemporary twists. You can have the traditional filet mignon, or you can be adventurous and try the pork mignon, either of which is quite tasty. Try the Lobster Risotto with white truffle oil--magnificent! Open for lunch and dinner during the week and just dinner on the weekends, Steakhouse 85 is friendly and spacious. Immediately behind the reception area is a lounge with comfortable seating and the bar is quite long with plenty of seating as well. Soups and salads here run for $8 and steaks go between $20 to $40, with $5 for each side. If you're there on a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday, you'll enjoy live music.

Arthur's Steakhouse and Pub
Arthur's customers say they go to Arthur's for the incredible food, especially its charbroiled steaks, and an ice cold beer--not so much for the ambience. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable and worth the trip. Steaks here go for $22.95 and under, unless you're getting the giant 48-ounce steak. Other entrees average $15 and burgers are only $6. Arthur's is kid-friendly and does have a children's menu with a nice variety. It also has a full bar with daily drink specials and happy hour. Arthur's is open 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except Sundays when it opens at 2 p.m.
